after car is parked and sits, the next time i get in the car, there is a fuel smell. strange thing is it smells a little bit more diesel, i mean like stale and heavy, than gasoline, which has a sharper smell !
have checked under rear bench fuel lines, all good. have previously replaced fuel cap(new), replaced charcoal cannister(salvaged part).
this smell is annoying, it goes away after you start driving a while, although worried about safety,(it doesnt go away, your nose maybe gets desensitized after a few minutes). have no confidence i, and family, are not exposed to this on long road trips.
help ! if this is not solved may have to junk the car.
